| 50 | +## Remarks |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +The _KeepIRMSettings_ parameter behaves specially for PDF. It controls the retention of both labels and encryption to the output file. For more information, see [Manage sensitivity labels in Office apps](/microsoft-365/compliance/sensitivity-labels-office-apps?view=o365-worldwide#pdf-support&preserve-view=true). |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +If the presentation is not fully downloaded, this method fails and an error occurs. For more information about the Partial Documents, see [Work with Partial Documents](~/powerpoint/How-to/work-with-partial-documents.md). |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +PrintRange is a required parameter, but may be set to `Nothing`. If not supplied, the call will fail with a `Type mismatch` |
